Full description
Your day begins with a comfortable morning pickup from your Kumkoy hotel, where an air-conditioned coach is waiting to carry you west along the dramatic Mediterranean coastline. As the kilometres unfold, your guide shares stories of the ancient Lycian civilisation while pine-clad mountains, greenhouse plains and glittering sea views slide past the window, building anticipation for the legendary city of Demre.
The heart of the day is a treasure trove of antiquity and adventure. In Myra you stand beneath the astonishing rock-cut tombs and the grand Roman theatre, marvelling at how craftsmen carved entire facades into the cliff face two thousand years ago. You then visit the Church of Saint Nicholas, where the bishop who inspired the Santa Claus legend once preached. Finally you board a boat and cruise over Kekova's sunken city, peering through glass panels at staircases, walls and pottery resting silently beneath the clear water, with a swim stop in the bay below Kalekoy castle.
A hearty lunch by the sparkling bay rewards your morning of exploration, giving you time to relax, swim once more and soak up the timeless Lycian scenery before the boat returns to harbour. The journey back to Kumkoy is a chance to unwind as the sun softens over the coast, your camera full of memories from sunken ruins and ancient saints. Reserve your place now and let this unforgettable Demre, Myra and Kekova adventure become the highlight of your Antalya holiday.
